I own an Everlane weekender, and I own this upright bag. In terms of appearance, the Everlane weekender is miles better. I think it actually looks 'cool' compared to the completely utilitarian upright bag. In terms of practicality and general use, it's the upright bag all the way.
I find the straps on the Everlane weekender to be a bit cumbersome (they keep sliding down). There's only one small pouch on the inside of the main compartment and one pocket on the outside, which is not nearly enough for the level of organization I desire. When totally full, it's just a little too long for the overhead compartment on the airplane too.
The upright bag is functional and durable, and it has lots of pockets, and it's expandable. I love it. If I'm just tossing a couple things in a bag, I'll use the Everlane weekender, but for any real trip, I use the upright bag. Plus, I decked mine out with these dinosaur luggage tags!
After graduating from highschool a family friend bought me a suitcase (I believe it is an older version of this model).
I can't tell you how much mileage I've gotten out of the thing! (To and from school, and professional school, multiple vacations around the world, day and weekend trips). 21" is a great size as it works well as my second carry on item, and I can pack it full of cloths (I can fit roughly a weeks worth of cloths in that little bag). I've really abused it over the years and it is still in perfect condition. To this day, it one of my most useful presents I've ever gotten, and that was 8 years ago. Also, symbolically it was really the perfect gift upon leaving the "nest".
I am sure there are better models out today and recommend you ask the BIFL community (or search a previous posts on the subject) about which particular model you should get I would recommend a 21 inch Samsonite/American Tourister from my personal experience.
edit: If I were in the mood to buy a replacement this is probably what I would buy
(I say mood, because I am not sure if there will ever be a time I will need to replace the one I have considering how durable it has been)
